To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JEAN LANDES and HENRY LANDES, citizens of theUnited States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inUmbrellarSticks, Canes, and the Like, of which the following is aspecification, such as will enable those skilled in the 'art to which itappertains to makeand use the same.

This invention relates to umbrella-sticks, canes, and the like; and theobject thereof is to provide the handle of a device of this class withreceptacles for carrying small coin, matches, or similar articles.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate partsof our improvement are designated by suitable reference characters ineach of the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the handleportion of the stick of an umbrella provided with our improvement; Fig.2, a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 2; Fig. 3,.a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4L a section on the line 4 4 ofFig. 3.

In the drawings forming part of this specification we have shown at athe handle portion of a stick of an umbrella, or the part a may beconsidered as the handle portion of an ordinary walking-cane, and thishandle por tion of the stick of an umbrella or walkingcane is providedat its end in the form of con-' struction shown with an angularextension or, on which is mounted a tubular box or casing I), which maybe secured thereto in any desired manner. box or casing 5 is closed, andsaid box or casing is provided with a central vertical partition 6 andthe top side portions thereof are formed into longitudinal doors a,which are hinged at the opposite sides, as shown at 0 and said doors areprovided in the form of construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and at theirfree edges with interlocking knobs 0 by which they are held togetherwhen closed, these interlocking knobs 0 being similar to those employedon pocket-books and similar articles. The partition Z2 divides the boxor The outer end of the tubular other is intended as a match-box, orsaid lastnamed chamber may be used as a pin-receptacle or as areceptacle for other small articles designed for ladies use.

In Figs. 3 and 4 we have shown a modified form of fastening device forthe doors 0, and this fastening device consists of a spring 6, securedto the inner side of one of the end portions of one of the doors andprovided at its free end, which extends transversely of the closed endportion of the opposite door, with a V-shaped head 6 adapted to enter acorresponding recess a in the closed end portion of the last-named door,and the shape of the head 0 is such that when the doors 0 are swungtogether or closed the head 6 will enter the recess e and lock the doorsin a closed position, and the doors may be opened by pressing on abutton f, provided with a shank, which passes through the closed endportion of one of the doors and which is connected with or bears on thespring 6.

The box or casing may be provided with more than two receptacles orchambers, if desired, and we thus provide means whereby small coins maybe conveniently carried when an umbrella or cane is carried and whichmay be easily got at without the necessity of reaching into a pocket oropening a hand-bag or similar device, and in the case of smokers matchesmay also be conveniently carried and easily got at in the same manner,while a lady carrying an umbrella or parasol provided with ourimprovement may conveniently carry pins, hair-pins, and other smalltoilet articles in one of the chambers or receptacles within the box orcasing 6.
